3 "People Of Interest" In Nevada Abduction

(CBS/AP)  Authorities in Las Vegas say they now have three "people of interest" in the abduction of a 6-year-old boy by men posing as police.

Officials said Saturday that they are seeking a Mexican identified as Jesus Gastelum. Police Sgt. Tom Wagner says he is believed to be in Las Vegas or Southern California.

Police also have someone else in custody, but they did not identify that person.

Those two are in addition the boy's grandfather. Clemons Tinnemeyer was arrested Friday in Southern California. Police think he was involved with Mexican drug dealers who wanted to send a "message" with the abduction.

Police say they continue to search for the boy and are focusing on the northeastern Las Vegas Valley.

Authorities called off an Amber Alert in their search for Cole Puffinburger earlier Saturday. Las Vegas Police Capt. Vincent Cannito said the "effectiveness of the Amber Alert has run its course," and tips had slowed considerably.

But Cannito said alert's cancellation "does not minimize the efforts being put forth by the law enforcement community." He also said the widespread media coverage of the kidnapping would serve the same purpose as an official alert.

Cannito said that authorities had executed a number of search warrants around the country that have yielded more leads, including the recovery of large amounts of cash.

Tinnemeyer was arrested late Friday in the city of Riverside by a fugitive task force, FBI spokesman Joseph Dickey said. He was being held at the Central Detention Center in the city of San Bernardino.

Tinnemeyer, 51, may have stolen millions of dollars from the Mexican nationals, said Officer Cris Johnson, a Las Vegas police spokesman. Johnson declined to say what role Tinnemeyer played in the drug operation or whether the kidnappers were seeking a ransom.

Police believe methamphetamine was involved, Johnson said. Two men entered Puffinburger's home Wednesday and tied up the boy's mother and her boyfriend. The home was ransacked and the boy abducted.

This Tinnemeyer guy looks pretty fat to be involved with Meth.

My dilemma is looming on the horizon as I have my absentee ballot on hand and if I want my vote to count I have to get it mailed fast as I reside abroad. What shall I do? I cannot (will not) vote for McSame, and Obama is an admitted past user of illicit drugs. The sale and purchase and use of those drugs, of course, was illegal and benefitted the dealers financially. Should I vote for a man who used such reckless poor judgement in the past? That is, should I vote to put him in the highest office in the land (the entire world for that matter), with my knowledge of his indiscretions and immature disregard of the laws of the United States? This is not an easy issue for me to decide on and has me in a fog. Also, I find it difficult as well to give Obama my vote knowing that he chooses to disregard his ancestral heritage in whole and refers to himself as a BLACK man, casting aside the fact that he is one half a WHITE man. If he wins the media will most certainly be saying he is the first BLACK president of the United States, which will be incorrect. It would be most upsetting for me to read this in the headlines of the nation''s press so I open myself up to any sensible suggestions anyone might have. Thanks, y''all.

The kid seems young to be a drug dealer. But I say get em'' in jail early, so we don''t lose the War on Drugs.

There are millions of customers for illegal drugs here in the USA. Wondering of the some 300 million in population just how many are regular drug users vs. recreational drug users. Illegal drugs are big business all over the world for both sides of the law, the criminals and all law enforcement. Good customers make it an extremely profitable business.

By the way Khanghi, I know much more of the devastations associated with these drugs than you will ever know in your miserable life.

You people need to stop reading tabloids and start researching facts.

The CIA - over the objections of the Drug Enforcement Administration, a branch of the Justice Department - approved the shipment of at least one ton of nearly pure cocaine to Miami International Airport as a way of gathering information about the Colombian drug cartels. But, the cocaine ended up on the street because of "poor judgment and management on the part of several CIA officers," the intelligence agency said.

You likely believe AIDS was created by the CIA.

If you could think through your clouded brain you would be able to understand what''s controlling your thoughts. Obviously not common sense.

Khanghi,

It appears you have not done your research. Marijuana and cocaine are legally prescribed drugs.

Unfortunately, alcohol is part of most cultures dating back thousands of years. It is part of America the majority wants. So be it.

Numerous studies have shown marijuana smoke to contain carcinogens and to be an irritant to the lungs. In fact, marijuana smoke contains 50 to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke. Marijuana users usually inhale more deeply and hold their breath longer than tobacco smokers do, which further increases the lungs%u2019 exposure to carcinogenic smoke. Marijuana smokers show deregulated growth of epithelial cells in their lung tissue, which could lead to cancer.

Nonetheless, marijuana smokers can have many of the same respiratory problems as tobacco smokers, such as daily cough and phlegm production, more frequent acute chest illness, a heightened risk of lung infections, and a greater tendency toward obstructed airways. A study of 450 individuals found that people who smoke marijuana frequently but do not smoke tobacco have more health problems and miss more days of work than nonsmokers. Many of the extra sick days among the marijuana smokers in the study were for respiratory illnesses.

Would you give your child marijuana or cigarettes to smoke? Why not lay a line down for them to snort? You wish these things for your children now or in the future? What%u2019s wrong with you?

You obviously know little if anything regarding why some drugs are illegal in this country and why some are not. Some drugs such as marijuana have legitimate medicinal uses, while alcohol and/or cigarettes do not. Yet, which is legal and which is not.

By the way, the reason the government brings drugs into the country and sees that they end up in certain neighborhoods is to control the citinenry and their actions. Why don''t you spend a little time researching why the penalties for and ounce of cocaine in its powdered form is far less than an ounce of crack.

Until you know more, you''re really in no position to comment intelligently about the topic.

You are incorrect in your assertion that there was no methamphetimine here before "the Mexicans started bringing it here by the boatload".

They are merely filling the "need" generated by a couple of generations of weak, stupid Americans.
